Dante is an amazing host. He was on point, energetic, a great asset to Chuys. Sadly though the food was just mediocre for the price. $21 for two Maui tacos, some lukewarm rice and bland beans. Honestly I can get 2 fish tacos for $6 at Del Taco and be just as satisfied. read more

Not your typical restaurant. You order your food and then sit down. Establishment is clean with no funky odors. I would recommend for large parties because there's a wide variety of seating options. Small arcade for kids - decent games, nothing lame (imo) Service is friendly and nice. The cashier recommended carnitas for my nachos, but they gave me chicken instead. I was too hungry to send it back. The soup was decent - I love that it was hot because cold soup isn't the business. Interesting that the soup came with garlic bread which was actually bomb. Is this place for me? If I was hungry yes, but not my first option. read more

I was amazed to order 2 skewers of shrimp. For over 22 dollars! What a rip off . The floor was so dirty and sticky inside . Filthy! I don't recommend anyone going there! read more

I haven't been to Chuy's in a long time but my friend's daughter works there & brought me some for lunch at work. I had the chicken tacos, they were bomb! I like that the sauce wasn't overly spicy. My friend had the BBQ bacon cheeseburger it was huge. I tried a bite, delish. I love breaded onion rings. Her daughter had sliders which also looked yummy. The food was still hot when they got to my work, downtown. Also i like the seasoned tortilla chips. We'll dedicated have to come into the restaurant aoon. Thanks for great food. My only problem was trying to find a actual website or menu online. read more

This is the second time I have come here and the food is better than I expected it to be. The fried pickles were honestly the best fried pickles I've ever had in my life and I'm 41 years old. The sauce went perfectly with it, and it just made the pickle taste accentuated in the best way. The scores were also pretty good. I would highly recommend it and I would definitely recommend getting the fried pickles. read more

I lived here 15 years ago and I did have good memories of coming to Chuy's. I always love the taste of their chicken and the food didn't disappoint. However, when we got to the door, it was 715 and they were closing at 7:30 early for an employee meeting. However, they still offered takeout and they even offered chips and salsa take with us overall the food was good. I was quite surprised that the $50 bill for a takeout of a chicken meal and a salmon dish, but whatever things have changed. Can't talk about the ambience because everybody was cleaning up but overall it hasn't changed in the years that I've been gone. I'd like to go again someday maybe when I return to visit Bakersfield, but I know they'll be open longer.. read more

We were here for happy hour on Friday afternoon. The fish and chips special for $15 was an excellent. Drink prices were good value with plenty of options. The manager (Drew) was top notch. We watched him work behind the scenes and he made sure service was running well. We acknowledge wanted to acknowledge him because he was so attentive. Definitely recommend coming to Chuy's. If anyone has stopped coming here from past experience, you should definitely come back. Management is really making this place the way it used to be. read more

I have been to Chuys dozens of times throughout the years but this was one of the funnest times ever. I was scrolling through social media and came across an ad for a family friendly themed trivia night. I couldn't rally my troops quick enough! I did not know they offered this and we were all so excited to give it a try. We placed our order for the fajitas as it was Wednesday and that is fajita night and found us a table to play some trivia. Zach was the host for the evening and he was awesome. My family had a great time even though we didn't win. The hubs and I had the fajitas. I had the chicken and he had the tri tip. We both enjoyed them. My oldest went with the tri tip sandwich and after she doused it in some bbq sauce she said it was delicious. My youngest went with the bean, cheese and rice burrito saying that is was good but small and she didn't like the salsa from the salsa bar. All-in-all we had a blast. Good food, good drinks and great trivia. We will definitely go back soon! read more

Quick service, friendly staff, fun ambiance. That's what I love about Chuys. I was waiting for my tires to get fixed at Americas tires and came to Chuys to eat lunch. I knew it would be busy because it's Veterans Day but I got to order quickly and sat down. The waitress was nice and got the food to me pretty quickly. I ordered Mahi taco plate. It was pretty good. My only complaint would be that the fish didn't taste as good as I remembered. Maybe it's a different supplier. I still enjoyed my meal and left happy. read more

What an awful experience that was, I went in for lunch for two they have a lunch special menu with photos $14.99 no drink included we ordered the burger + fries and the taco plate plus two drinks our total came out to $42.20 which is very pricey for a "lunch special". We discovered the photos on the menu are inaccurate and a false representation of what the actual lunch specials are they used AI slop to make the menus and it definitely shows in the way they conduct business, the burger which shows cheese on the picture does not actually include cheese and is an additional up charge that is not disclosed on the menu plus the burger came dry with no sauce and was just a flavorless greasy patty stacked on iceberg lettuce with an onion slice and two pickles; on top of that the taco plate only came with two tacos not the three pictured on the menu when asked it would be $18 for three tacos, we also got two drinks at $4.50 each when going to the drink fountain half of the options were not available and the soda was flat. Service was mediocre at best, servers didn't want to discuss the faulted menus and false advertisement when questioned. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a good lunch stay far away from here! read more

Food, service, and ambiance could stand improvement. You can't hear the people at your table you're trying to talk to, you can't put in an order without a 15 minute wait, then you don't get your food for and hour, then the staff tells you that everybody waited and hour for their food today (Surprise! Not a terrific thing to advertise that you're not firing on all cylinders today for Every patron, guys). I politely asked for a refund so I could leave and they pushed me into keeping the food that they swore would "just be a few more minutes" instead of letting me leave with my money back. For reference, not a big order. Paid $30 including a tip, for 1 single sandwich meal and a soda. If you can't handle service, stop trying. read more

How do I say it. I have never been do Chuy's and I regret every moment of not coming here before. This place is AWESOME!!!!! FOOD IS GREAT. I had the BBQ Bacon Burger and Fries. The pictures speak for themselves. Barely finished it. Friend of mine had the Chili Verde Nachos. Almost as good as my burger. The service was great. The servers were very nice and helpful. The decor and the LIVE music was perfect. The band was Mixed Signals, (Their number and UPC is in one of the photos). The decor of Chuy's is unique. Nice to look at which leads to a great experience. I highly recommend Chuy's. I know I will be back. read more

Really disappointed with this visit. The service was terrible and the beers came out completely flat. On top of that, the wings were served with zucchini instead of the carrots and celery shown in the menu photo--super misleading. Definitely not what I expected. read more

I've been a dedicated customer for the past 10 yrs. Sadly the service has gotten poor over the years. The employees who once cared about the customer no longer work there and never see the same employees there so apparently they have a high turn over rate. Recently I placed an order to go and was assured everything was in the bag. I Get home to find part of the order missing and part of the order not made as ordered. I went back today to get the missing item. Tried talking to one of the managers who couldn't care less what I had to say and walked away from me mid sentence. Cant stay in business if customers dont feel appreciated. Watching the manager handle ready to serve food with his bare hands was enough to make me realize I wont be returning. read more

Needed some soup for a family member. The chicken tortilla soup is AMAZING!!! And I'll definitely go back again!

Haven't been here in awhile because truthfully the food had gone down hill. Wasn't awful just not as good as it used to be. My husband wanted to and I couldn't think of anywhere else I wanted to go so I reluctantly agreed. I'm so glad I did. The food had improved so much! It's great again! The nachos are delicious like they used to be and the wings were crispy and coated with great sauce. We had the BBQ and the buffalo and both were great. The service was also terrific. Megan took our order and was super friendly and helpful pointing out we could have two sauces, which made my hubby and youngest super happy. Drew, the new manager, came over and gave my daughter a balloon and coloring supplies. He was super friendly and told us all about the improvements since he took over in December. Clearly, higher him was the right decision because I can see the difference. Which brings me to the ambience. They've upgraded the lights in the building, added blue lights outside and got heaters with fire in them for the patio. The place is clean and the soda machine works again. Tip: Mondays kids eat free with a paid adult meal. read more

Place is so chill I always come here with my friend and her family they were playing the World Cup games too love it here

It was our first time going to Chuy's and it was a spur of the moment decision as we were looking for a place to hang out on a Saturday night. They had an event which was the halloween costume contest and it was fun to watch! Anyway, we ordered few dishes, chicken wings and tri tip. The photo of the food did not give it justice lol the chicken wings were good it was just alil dry. The tri tip tasted good too but it was also alil dry. Im giving 5 stars bec of the entertainment part. We watched the band kalisol and they were amazing! Food portion and price was also reasonable. We will be back! read more

Amazing food and ambiance. Great staff one of my go to locations whenever i am in town

Great food great music great place to hang out. Great service can go wrong with all the good DJs like JC coda, DJ Rich

Great little spot to hang out with a group of friends. The decor is cool and I always see car clubs set up there weekly when I drive by. Service is quick, happy hour specials are a nice bang for your buck. The food is fine. I tried the mexican tacos and the american tacos. Both were just ok. My wife got the chicken/cream cheese wonton's and fried pickles. Those were much better than the tacos. We ordered a few pitchers of Margs and a variety of other drinks. They were a little weak. read more

Amazing what a difference in management can make! I had a horrible experience about a year or so ago. But Drew (new mngr) and his crew are absolutely amazing! This past weekend (4/5/25) we held a celebration of life car show for my dad. The turn out was amazing and I was blown away by how well the staff were able to manage the crowd inside! We had absolutely no complaints whatsoever from anyone! Super friendly staff great food and quick service! By far the best Cadillac Margarita I've ever had! The atmosphere is fantastic and even better when they have live music playing! I enjoy sitting on the covered patio with my friends on Thursday nights for the cruise in nights! If you're looking for a place to chill and enjoy some drinks and food then this is it!!! They have something going just about every night it seems! Trivia, cruise in, live bands! Definitely recommend 100/10!!!! Thanks again Drew and the entire crew for hosting us and making my Dads event that much better!!!! read more

Chuys has a few changes and I love it. Plays and silverware are a wonderful change and makes me feel at home. The salsa bar is updated and available to the customers again. The avocado salsa is absolutely amazing. The service is also a wonderful plus they now clear the tables for you. Drew is the best coming to our table and talking to us and asking what our thoughts are. Bring the family or just a date it's fun for everyone. read more

Chuy's went through a phase for a while there but they have really been great the past couple years. The food is consistently amazing now and the entertainment is always so good. The staff is incredible and we always feel so welcomed and taken care of. I have recently been hosting my book clubs here and everyone loves it. Drew makes coordinating events so easy. I always poll the group and ask where they want to meet and every month they want to go back to Chuy's. read more

I love they have the "Cattle Call" the first Sunday of every month... the patio is packed with music and sports fans... but I would think they might add an extra couple people to service the crowd...

Thanks again Andrew! Chuy's never disappoints. Awesome food and service. My family's favorite spot when they come into town.

Been going for years. Food prices are getting crazy. Also customer service used to be better. Noticed a high turn around of employees. I was there and asked for Lakers games to be put on...pbly mistake I didnt realize the girl had homemade "Duke" pants on but she lied as to why she couldn't put the Lakers game on. I miss when the employees cared about the customer. read more
